Nothing lives long, Only the earth and mountains.
Dee Brown
When preparing to climb a mountain, pack a light heart.
Dan May
Each fresh peak ascended teaches something.
Sir Martin Conwa
The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.
Conrad Anker
Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it
Andy Rooney
Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.
John Ruskin
The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down
Jeanne Moreau
There is no such sense of solitude as that which we experience upon the silent and vast elevations of great mountains. Lifted high above the level of human sounds and habitations, among the wild expanses and colossal features of Nature, we are thrilled in our loneliness with a strange fear and elation – an ascent above the reach of life’s expectations or companionship, and the tremblings of a wild and undefined misgivings.
J. Sheridan Le Fanu
